Champlain student visits University of Jordan

This past fall, a senior Champlain College student, Jenica Norrish, from here in Burlington, VT visited Jordan to meet some of the students from the University of Jordan. Her visit was prompted from a series of articles she was writing for the campus newspaper about Global Modules being embedded into the new CORE curriculum at Champlain, with a final piece about her actual experience in Jordan. You can find Jenica's blog here and read about her first trip to the Middle East and about her time meeting some of the students and faculty on the other side of the Global Modules discussion.

What are Global Modules?

Greetings. My name is Gary Scudder and I run the Global Modules program at Champlain College in Burlington, Vermont in the U.S. Global Modules are short, intensive, thematic online discussions between students and faculty members at different international universities.

Over the years we've discussed terrorism with students from Jordan, peace activism with Austrian students, globalization with Indian students, ecological impact with Kenyan students, the crisis in Lebanon with Australian students, women's issues with Moroccan students, and the freakonomics of naming with students from the United Arab Emirates.

We're looking for students and faculty members from international universities who are interested in meaningful dialogue about important issues. Interested?
